After defeating Samoa Joe with not one, not two, but three Buckshot Lariats to retain his AEW Men’s World Championship at WrestleDream, “Hangman” Adam Page seemed able to let bygones be bygones, shake Joe’s hand, and move on. Joe seemed willing to do that at the beginning as well, before revealing it was all a ruse, as he and Opps teammates Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata left Page laying in a crumpled heap, a transparent sign that Joe wasn’t done chasing Page’s championship.
Someday after WrestleDream, AEW posted social media exclusive footage of Page after the show, getting checked out by a health care provider following The Opps assault. But despite being banged up, Page seemed more fired up than ever before, launching right into a verbal tirade directed squarely at his former ally.
“Joe, have you ever lost your mind?” Page said. “Have you ever lost your mind within the admittedly twilight years of your profession? I gave you the shot and also you failed! You are embarrassed! Have you ever lost your mind?! Have you ever lost your mind?!”
Page was so wound up that the doctor treating him was forced to grab Page in an try and each sit him back down and proceed treatment. Page finally did relent, but still had more to say for Joe, reminding the veteran of the promise he had made to him after they first agreed to face off at WrestleDream.
“I warned you, did I not?” Page said. ” I warned you. Joe, once I find you, I’m going to destroy your g*****n life.”
